Friday Update #1

11

Hello everyone!

We’ve been quiet on our blog. And that’s for a good reason… Up until now, The Grey Studios has only been fuelled by our passion for games and what we were able to do in our spare time. Of course this has always been less then satisfying and we’ve always dreamt of going full-time. And here’s the exciting part (cue trumpet fanfare):

At the end of last week this dream became reality and we are working on our games full-time now.

We started the process towards this almost a year ago (crazy!! time’s flying). We were approached by Nia Schmidheiny about potentially helping us out in starting the business. After some deliberation we decided to give it a go and take this step. It was an emotional ride with some mind-blowing highs and some very challenging lows. In the end it all worked out and we are now in an incredible position to get going 🙂
As you can imagine we are over the moon that we’ve been given this opportunity. We’re also fully aware that it’ll take a lot of hard work and time to get our business self-sustainable. We’re definitely up for the challenge and we’ll do whatever it takes to get there.

With this step, we’ve also decided to rebrand ourselves and will soon be operating under our new business name “Robotality”. New website, etc. is coming. Another thing: We’ll be posting an update on our development progress every Friday. Our first game is already in the pipeline and is currently undergoing the prototyping stage. More details next week! Make sure to check back next Friday.

To finish off, here’s a little picture of our new office space in Hameln:

Nice little office you have there by the way. The sideway Expedit is a good idea for an office. Actually such a great idea that I’m going to steal it. 😉 My desk is so cluttered and the Expedit will fit nicely next to it and can hold the printer and all the potentially needed stuff.
